The campaign for a regional assembly has been forced into a climbdown after one of its high-profile supporters described comments attributed to her on a leaflet as "rubbish".
TV agony aunt Denise Robertson, a backer of Yes4theNorthEast, was outraged at remarks on a Yes4theNorthEast mailshot.
Mrs Robertson, whose husband and son both support a no vote, was quoted as saying: "Most people who are against us are from London."
But yesterday she said: "I didn't say that, nor do I believe it. I'm ashamed of being associated with that.
"It's entirely contrary to my beliefs. I can only apologise that my name is linked with this rubbish. But I still back the campaign. I still think a yes vote would be good for the region and I accept their apology."
Yes4thenortheast director Ross Forbes said: "In the heat of the campaign, we made a genuine mistake.
"We apologise unreservedly for any inconvenience or embarrassment this might have caused her."
